CLASSIFICATION, TYPOLOGY OF EASTERN AND WESTERN NARRATIVES

Abstract

This article explores the distinct narrative structures and thematic elements that characterize storytelling traditions in Eastern and Western cultures. By analyzing a variety of literary works, folklore, and oral traditions, the research identifies key differences and similarities in narrative techniques, character development, and moral frameworks. The classification framework proposed in this study categorizes narratives into several typological groups based on cultural context, thematic focus, and narrative style. The findings aim to enhance understanding of cross-cultural storytelling and its implications for global literature.
